Um, I don't need any help adding to my list :) These look amazing!

Yep, we did this one in 2015 but are trying the French Meal Traditions this time. I hope I'm not sorry for making the switch!

Oh, good night. That cake!
 
I got it because as I was picking up my tostada, a woman was picking up this drink and raved about it to me - it wasn't her first! :laughing: It wasn't too "boozy" which I also liked. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks! “Not too boozy” is right up my alley!
 
I think you will be happy with the French Family Meal Tradition. Here is a link to the one we went to last year. Normally the wine flows freely at these things. You can look around my wife's blog to see other things we have done over the last few years.

I enjoyed the 2017 and 2015 version of your event! I'm hoping this year is more like the 2015 version, though. I'm allergic to shellfish and a visit to the ER after using my Epi-Pen is not how I want to spend my evening :)

When they seat you, you can tell them about any allergies and they will fix something else for you. They seem to be more than happy to accommodate.

We did the French Family Meal last year and loved it. We got the luck of the draw menu and had veal which was very good. Endless pours and chatty table companions. All good! Our table this year at Italian were a hoot. Food, I personally didn’t like as much, but that’s all on me, not the meal. We did Highway in the Sky tonight (will post that later) and had the dinner course with another couple who did the Italian last week who had lamb chop. Would have loved lamb!
 
Can you list what they are? I didn't recognize a few of them

Steakhouse Blended Burger from Earth Eats - about the size of a large slider and very good.

Bougatsa from Greece - I was very happy that I tried this since I ended up really enjoying it!

Maple Boursin Bourbon Cheesecake from the Cheese Studio - this was excellent as well. The only thing that could be improved is that it could be chilled more before serving.

Fromosa from the Mimosa Bar - my only complaint was that they don't give you more!

Italian Margarita from Italy - another really nice surprise and very refreshing!

Sweet Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart from the Chocolate Lab - with those ingredients you can't go wrong in my book. It was beautifully presented as well! The drink is the Chai Chocolate Shake and was good but nothing to write home about.

Butternut Squash Ravioli from Wine and Dine - I was very tempted to get a second helping of this as well! So yummy!

La Chancla from Mexico
: Red Wine Sangria mixed with Fruit Juice - Very tasty and a good size serving!

Short Rib Tostada from Mexico - My top pick and the only dish I got two servings of!
 
Party For The Senses this Saturday!! It's our first time at the Party and I was wondering if we took a Minnie Van from the resort to Epcot, do they drop us off at the main entrance or closer to the party? We have regular reserved seating, not wine view lounge. So this would not be what's included with that. Just wondering if we'd get closer doing it that way as opposed to an uber. thanks!

I think they’d drop you at the Main Entrance. I’d get dropped off at the Beach Club resort and walk in via the International Gateway. The venue is just a short walk ahead once in the gate and the crowd to enter (bag check etc) is generally less chaotic at the IG entrance. Have fun!!!

I am pretty sure you won't get the 'direct to the venue' trip unless you have wine view lounge. I agree with 2excited2sleep, get a ride to the Beach club (Personally I would save the money and take Uber Plus since they are offering "Free" Minnie Vans to PFTS Wine View Lounge you may find that Minnie's are pretty busy when you need them)

Can't wait for the reviews. This is the first year in a long time I have skipped PFTS.
 
Almost one month in and still one month until I'm there. Has anyone noticed any merchandise being sold out and not being restocked. I know there was mixed information with the glasses. Most curious about the ladies Remy shirt, F&D polo shirt, the brew shirt, mystery pins, pandora 2 charm set, and the AP pins.
Thanks for the update info.
